He wants to push the train Klopp says G

Cody Gakpos decision to join Liverpool without a guarantee of Champions League qualification delighted Jurgen Klopp, who has no doubts at all about the forward ahead of his Reds debut.Liverpool beat several clubs including rivals Manchester United to Gakpo Troy Dye Jersey s signature by agreeing a deal worth an initial 37million (42m) with PSV shortly before the transfer window opened.Gakpo was unable to make his debut in Mondays 3-1 Premier League defeat at Brentford after a delay in ratifying the move, but he is available for Saturdays FA Cup tie against Wolves. Speaking at his pre-match pre s conference ahead of that fixture, Klopp said Gakpos decision to join a team seven points adrift of a top-four place said a lot about his personality.We had information about him as a person from Virgil van Dijk so not only were Myles Dorn Jersey there few doubts, there were no doubts at all, Klopp said. Were very happy with the signing.There were easier moments to join Liverpool. Last year, we were not qualified already for the Champions League, but it looked likely. This year we cant guarantee that, but Cody never asked. What I like about this is hes not a guy that wants to jump on a moving train, hes a guy that wants to push the train. Ameer Abdullah Jersey So good for him, as well. It always helps in life if you are like that.Gakpo scored three goals as the Netherlands reached the World Cup quarter-finals in Qatar after providing 12 goals and nine a sists for PSV through their first 14 games of the Eredivisie season.While Klopp is excited to see the 23-year-old in action, he is unwilling to compare him to Luis Diaz, who made a terrific impact for Liverpool after his own mid-season arrival from Porto 12 months ago.With our situation, with injuries to the strikers, its nice to have a player who is natural in lots of things Parry Nickerson Jersey and knows where the goal is, Klopp said of Gakpo. He looks really good, he looks really promising. He looks fit. Is he 100 per cent fit? I dont know, he had a few times with us where he couldnt train with the team. Now hes with the team. The se sions have been intense for him because its different.Im very positive about him. I dont know if its helpful to compare him with Luchos impact it was pretty special. We had injuries last season and it was extremely helpful. Cody gets the same amount of time as any other player. He has to settle in offensively, he comes from a different league. I dont have to compare him to Lucho, but we expect a positive impact, definitely. Tyler Conklin Jersey Klopp also dismi sed suggestions he had been irked by Liverpools failure to have Gakpo available sooner, adding: If our Premier League game at Brentford had been last night, maybe he could have played, but for us in this moment, its absolutely perfect. Normally in January busine s happens later, but in this case we were pretty early, so Im completely fine with the situation.
